I have a moth night light setup where I have photographed over 400 species of moths just in my yard.  The night lights have the bonus of attracting many other insects, such as this Soldier Fly.  This is about 100 frames stacked in Helicon Focus.

Couldn't have said it any better. You are really "bugging" us! ;)  (With great effect).
